Ian Watt: Hi Good Afternoon, its Ian Watt in Downtown Vancouver.
Very interesting to see what's going on right now. The Canadian Real
Estate Association and the Competition Bureau in Canada are kind of a
bit at war right now. The Competition Bureau wants to open up the MLS
to everybody so if you are not working with the realtor you can list
your place on the MLS for a fee. Which is very interesting I don't
really care one way of the other because I think realtors were always
have their place and different variants of a services or definitely in
necessity in this world. There's so many different demographics and
some wanna go for a free, someone wanted fizz I guess with have the
power of the MLS and some people want full service. You only think that
I think it's gonna be dangerous is one one time, some guy thinks he
knows what he's doing another realtors gonna come in there and
represent the buyer and the seller is gonna get screwed by signing
something. They don't understand what they're signing and that's going
to be a bit of a problem. I hope they don't hold that the other realtor
responsible when that for sale by owner who's selling it through the
MLS has no clue of what's going on. It's going to be very interesting
to see what happens. But it's totally out of my hands. So if MLS is
open up to the general public that's the way it is. I just have to work
on my service. My name is Ian Watt and if you have any questions. you
